DEDICATION 2009
Peter A. Olkkola
Peter lived on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts and moved to Ossipee and chose to
make his home with his wife Ann and three sons, Justin, Jared, & Jake.
Peter was elected to the position of Selectman in 2000, and served this Town
well until 2009. He saw a lot of changes, and was part of many improvements to
the Town in the nine years he served.
Peter spent the majority of his life working in law enforcement and ended up
retiring from the State of New Hampshire Department of Safety - as a State
Supervisor of Legalized Gambling.
Peter operated the Wakefield Inn and Moulton's Store in Ossipee Village and
moved to Walker Hill Rd. where he resided with his family. He operated the Olkkola
Farm, providing top-notch maple syrup for 25 years.
Peter served on numerous advisory boards, commissions, and trusts for the
Town, County and State. His family, colleagues, and friends will all miss Peter in
many different ways.
Peter spent many hours working for and with his family and his town in ways
that we will never know.
Many in this community and outside this community will miss Peter's
landscaping, gardening, antiquing, Maple Syrup business, and service to his fellow
man.
On his daily trips to the post office, if Peter saw that someone needed a helping
hand, he was always there to provide whatever was needed.
We are proud to dedicate this year's town report to Peter A. Olkkola for all he
has done for Ossipee.
DEDICATION 2009
Rolland W. "Bolly" Lord
Bolly was a native and lifelong resident of our Town.
He attended the local schools and went on to the Boston School of Anatomy
and Embalming. He graduated with his degree in Mortuary Science.
Bolly served his Country, having served in World War II landing on the beaches
of Normandy and was with General George Patton when they met the Russians at
the Rhine River.
Returning home, he began work with his father in their family owned business
known as Lord's Funeral Home, which he did for over fifty years. It is still in
business today, and is owned by his son Brian, the third generation of the family. In
addition, he founded Lord's Ambulance and owned a clothing store at the Indian
Mound Shopping Center with his sister. He served Ossipee as Selectman from 1 951
through 1969. He was a member of numerous boards and committees and served
them all well.
Bolly worked tirelessly for the late Governor Meldrim Thomson. He was
instrumental in raising funds to present Governor Thomson a replica of the Liberty
Bell and presented it to the Governor of the State of NH for his service to the State.
Not busy enough, he also was a member of the Ossipee Rotary Club, the
Ossipee Valley Masonic Lodge, a Shriner with Bektash Temple, and a member of the
Calvin Topi iff Chapter #15, Order of Eastern Star.
Bolly and his wife Mary raised a family of seven children. They also had
fourteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
We would like to take this opportunity to honor and thank this extraordinary
gentleman, Rolland "Bolly" Lord.
EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR 2008
Timothy W. Eldridge
The Ossipee "Employee of the Year" for the year 2008 is bestowed upon Tim
Eldridge with great pride and appreciation.
Tim started his employment as a truck driver in August of 1999. He was
promoted to the position of grader operator and later became the Highway
Foreman. Tim has taken charge of turning around the perception of the Highway
Department. The Department now consistently receives positive feedback from the
general public about the condition of our roads.
His leadership has established a sense of pride among the crew of this
department. This has been a great contribution to the high moral of the employees.
Tim has always enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Many hours
have been spent hunting, fishing, and building race cars with his sons (Ray and
Shane).
Tim and his wife (Karen) have welcomed many of Ray and Shane's friends and
relatives into their home and have treated them as if they were their own. (That's the
kind of people they are.)
Tim is certainly an example of what an Employee of the Year should be.
We are very proud and honored to have Tim work for our Town.
It is with great pride and pleasure that we, the Board of Selectmen, Town
Employees, and our Townspeople honor Tim Eldridge with the award of "Employee
of the Year for 2008".
"Citizen of the Year 2009"
Town of Ossipee
"Jim" Dolan
"Jim" Dolan has been chosen to receive the 2009 Citizen of the Year Award for
the Town of Ossipee. This annual presentation is based on volunteer service to the
community, and unselfish acts of benevolence toward its residents.
No one is more deserving of the annual "Citizen of the Year" award than "Jim"
Dolan.
Over the past several years, hundreds of town residents have benefited from his
expertise with income tax preparation and property tax rebate assistance at the
Ossipee Public Library - all on a volunteer basis. Jim serves as one of the three
Commissioners on the Center Ossipee Fire Department. He is currently serving his
second term. He is active in the retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and
regularly delivers meals-on-wheels to area senior citizens. He has served for nine
years on the Board of Directors of Ossipee Concerned Citizens, Inc. He was
recently elected to the Executive Board as Vice-Chairman. In addition, Jim is a
volunteer driver for DAV (Disabled American Veterans), and serves many roles as a
member of the Men of St. Joseph's at the St. Joseph's Church. He is a volunteer for
the Agape food pantry. He somehow finds the time to assist with a variety of
fundraising events for OCC and other non-profit programs within the community.
The Town of Ossipee has been fortunate with unique yet humble individuals
who serve in a volunteer capacity for the good of so many. Jim, always a gentleman,
and with seemingly boundless energy, is the definition of the Citizen of the Year
Award.
Jim has lived in Ossipee for 23 years.
Jim was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Jim graduated from Puchard High
School in 1 953. He graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a business
degree. He immediately went to Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode
Island.
He served his country at home and abroad. Jim served in Vietnam for a year.
Jim retired from the Navy as a Commander after 23 years of service.
Jim is the father of 3, Richard, Tim & Lea.
He and his wife Jan celebrated their 52 nc ' wedding anniversary in June of
2009.
He loves the Red Sox, the Patriots and the Celtics and rarely misses a game or
playoff.
He and his wife Jan enjoy ocean cruising in the Caribbean
It is with great pride and pleasure that we congratulate Jim Dolan as the 2009
Citizen of the Year.

At this time the Moderator thanked the different departments that helped with

elected officers would be sworn in on Monday, March 16, at 5:30 PM.
The moderator announced that everyone should have received a sheet of
guidelines (see attached) and a voting card when they first came in. If you do not
have a voting card, you cannot address this body or vote. Anyone who is not a
registered voter of the town will not be allowed to speak or vote on any motion.
The moderator asked if there was anyone in the audience that was not a
registered voter, but wished to speak on an article. Jennifer Berkowitz, director of
the Schools Out Program asked to speak on Article #4 and Chief Mike Brownell, of
the Center Ossipee Fire Department asked to speak on Article #11.

questions.
Kathleen Maloney read a letter from Selectman Peter Olkkola who was unable
to attend. A statement was read from the Board of Selectmen, to thank Peter for all
his work on the boards that he has served on.
Harry Merrow wanted to caution everyone at the meeting about the cost of
things. He talked about what was cut from last year's budget and what was used
from the surplus account. He let the audience know that we will be having an
increase of taxes, due to the new school and the nursing home. He asked that the
audience take this into consideration before voting tonight.

SPECIAL DISTRICT 3 ELECTION
April 21, 2009 TOWN OF OSSIPEE, NH
The Special District 3 Election was called to order at 8:00 am by Moderator
Meserve, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Moderator Meserve explained that
because we were not using the Accu-Vote Machine, that the ballots would be hand
counted after the poles closed. She displayed the old style-voting box that was used
in the past and showed that it was empty. The opening line was small, but
throughout the day we had a steady flow. At 1 :00 pm we started with the absentee
ballots and were done around 1 :30 pm. We had 27 absentee ballots returned. The
polls were closed at 7:00 pm. Moderator Meserve emptied the ballot box and we
started counting the ballots. We finished counting; then bundled and boxed up the
ballots about 8:00 pm. Moderator Meserve read the results to the people who
stayed for the count.
Ballot Clerks: Karen Thurber, Natalie V. Hall, Linda White, Erin Skehan, Alice
Jane ter Kuile, Sue Simpson and Denise Frappier. We had Trish Hodge and Martha
Eldridge as Moderator Pro Terns, whom helped throughout the day.

TOWN OF OSSIPEE TRUSTEE OF TRUSTEE FUNDS
2009 ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
2009 was a year of new trustees, as Pamela Sullivan and Renee Nardello took
over as Chairperson and Bookkeeper. June Loud continued and continues to be a
valuable part of the trustees. Pamela and Renee now have a year of experience and
are learning new procedures and regulations every day.
You will see on the following pages the breakdown of all the accounts, which
have been audited. They meet the requirements of the Charitable Trust Division of
the Attorney General of New Hampshire.
We have not received as much interest in some of our accounts as the last
couple of years, but we will be able to donate $20,000.00 in scholarships for the
year 2010-201 1 from the Lyford Merrow Trust Account. We will continue to look for
the best ways to increase our income in all the accounts.
Thank you for trusting us as your Trustees of Trust Funds.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Sullivan, Chairperson
Renee Nardello, Bookkeeper
June Loud, Trustee

Notes from the Clerk's Office...
As I look back over the past three years, the time has flown by very quickly.
Especially, with the start of The Vital Records State Grant, which required us to empty the
entire vault. We looked through everything and then put everything back on the new
shelving, which we received as part of the grant. Then we had renovations to improve our
office, which were started and completed in 2007.
We have gone from using the pre-print registrations that the State provided for us, to
the print on demand laser registrations. I would like to remind everyone that you must
bring in your current registration to renew or transfer your registration. You will need to
purchase a duplicate registration, at a cost of $17.50, if you do not have your old
registration.
Dogs over 4 months need to be registered on or before April 30 tn of each year. A
reminder, that in order to register your dog, the rabies shots have to be current. For your
convenience we will be having 3 Rabies Clinics this year: Sunday, March 21, 2010,
12:00pm - 2:00pm, Thursday, April 15, 2010, 6:00pm - 7:00pm, and Sunday, May 16,
2010, 10:00am- 12:00pm.

OSSIPEE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Annual Report 2009
The Ossipee Economic Development Committee is scheduled to meet on the
fourth Tuesday of every other month. Meetings are called as needed. New members
are always welcome. Our Mission is to foster organized growth utilizing human and
natural resources in a responsible way. The OEDC seeks to educate and involve the
community in its work.
The OEDC members are involved in projects in the Mount Washington Valley
Economic Council. OEDC member Donna Sargent is Ossipee's representative on
the Council. She is a member of the Revolving Loan Fund Committee. We
encourage residents of Ossipee who would like to start or expand a business to
apply for a loan. SCORE volunteers are available to help with business plans. The
Technology Village is also home to the Granite State College and the NH Technical
School offering courses to help career advancement. Business tax credits are
available for any business to buy that would benefit from the tax credits.
Members of the Ossipee Economic Development Committee have attended
programs presented by leaders in the business, government, education and financial
sectors of our economy. Most of the OEDC members were interested in the concept
of business revitalization with historic preservation while building a feeling of
community, so the group was instrumental in Ossipee becoming a Main Street
Community. The program basically consists of volunteers working in structured task-
oriented committees to improve the vitality of their community. One of the four
committees is the Economic Restructuring Committee, which is sponsoring the fifth
annual Economic Fair at the end of March that the OEDC is pleased to co-sponsor.
The earlier Economic Fairs were a big success. Many of the presenters plan to return,
and several new features, such as workshop sessions, are being added. This year
there will be free coffee and donuts and a scavenger hunt, as well as web site
information and Micro-Credit in Ossipee.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT FOR 2009
The year of 2009 was met with many changes. The "dump" has been transformed
into a recycling/transfer station. Presently the town is recycling on a large scale.
Shawn Berry joined the Highway Department after the resignation of Joe Janis.
joann Churchill was welcomed to the position of Finance & Accounting Supervisor
after the resignation of Elizabeth "Gail" Gliesman.
The Town was very saddened by the passing of two of our former selectmen, Peter
A. Olkkola and Rolland "Bolly" Lord. Both of these gentlemen will be greatly
missed.
The Main Street Program is ongoing with success. The first "Farmer's Market" was
held in the new park. This event will be continuing for all to enjoy.
A joint effort with Main Street and the Recreation Department developed a
skateboard park.
The Highway Department continues to focus on our Town Roads.
Two new businesses are in the process of being established in our Town. New
employment opportunities exist in Ossipee.
After a vote of the townspeople, to have a survey done, MRI was chosen to survey
fire services of the three precincts. The quest was to examine the possibility of a
town-wide fire department. The report is finished and recommendations are being
considered.
The Board of Selectmen would like to thank all of the Town Departments for their
dedication and devotion to the Town of Ossipee.

2009 OSSIPEE MAIN STREET ANNUAL REPORT
2009 was a busy year filled with many accomplishments. These were made
possible through the collaborative efforts of Ossipee Main Street volunteers and
donors. Volunteers worked on a wide variety of committees, projects, special events
and partnership projects and donated more than 2,375 hours of their time (equal to
over $48,000 in donated time) to Main Street this year. Private and public property
owners reinvested nearly $82,000 to complete 9 property improvement projects
within the designated target area.
Major projects in 2009 included the grand opening of the new town park,
which become the host of the new Ossipee Farmer's Market. We organized and
were involved in The Ossipee Economic Expo, the Annual Joe Skehan Youth Fishing
Derby, the Beech River Run, the introduction of attractive new signage through the
efforts of the Wayfinding Project, and special events to raise awareness of and funds
for Main Street efforts.
Ossipee Main Street partnered with the Town and many local non-profits
throughout the year: the Ossipee Highway Safety Committee, the Capital
Improvement Committee, the Greater Ossipee Area Chamber of Commerce, the
Carroll County Transportation Project, Ossipee Concerned Citizens, Ossipee
Historical Society, Ossipee Old Home Week Committee, Ossipee Economic
Development Committee, Mount Washington Valley Economic Council, & Lakes
Region Planning Commission.
In February, the youth fishing derby continued it's great tradition of winter
outdoor fun for area children. In March, the Economic Fair returned to Town Hall
with more workshops. The Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA)
gave Ossipee Main Street a grant to help improve the signage used in town, making
it more attractive and less confusing to people new to town. The plan was to be
presented to the selectmen in 2009 with a goal and will be voted on at the 2010
Town Meeting. It is our hope to begin to install signs in 2010. The Rubber Ducky
race was held once again, along with a 2 nd Annual Beech River Run 5k Road Race
and Youth Fun Run, with the number of participants doubling from the inaugural
2008 race. During the fall, volunteers from Ossipee Main Street and the Ossipee
Garden Club once again prepared holiday sprays to decorate the target area
properties. Additionally, the new park was decorated with a tree and holiday lights
during the Christmas season.
Things to watch for in 2010 include:
*The continuation of the Farmer's Market
*A focus on the economic development of the downtown area
42
* Design ,\nc\ fundraising plans for an outdoor performance shell in the new park
*More, new & creative ideas to make "Main Street" a family destination for special
events
In September, Sarah Millette stepped down from her position as Executive
Director after an inspired and successful tenure. The Town and The Main Street
Program acknowledged her great contribution to Ossipee during a ceremony in
which the Board of Selectmen presented Sarah with a letter of commendation.
Throughout this past year, the enthusiasm and support for the efforts of the
Ossipee Main Street grew considerably. Every event or project elicited new
volunteers who came forward and offered to help with a specific project, or
volunteer a special talent or skill. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank them,
as well as the Town of Ossipee, and each of our supporters for all our success.
Without all of you, our work would not be possible. Should you want to volunteer
or have a suggestion for the program, please contact us at 539-7200. Or visit our
website, www.ossipeemainstreet.org to learn more about the program and when
committees meet.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the Ossipee Main Street Board of Directors,
Scott A. Merrow

OSSIPEE POLICE DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT 2010
The year 2009 was a very busy year. The department has actively patrolled the
town roads enforcing speed. The department also received a number of grants from
the New Hampshire Highway Safety.
The Police Department still provides an officer at the school in the morning and
afternoon to assist the children in crossing the road. We are still working with the
recreation department with Middle School dances.
The Police Department is still providing the town of Ossipee with twenty four
hour coverage, three hundred and sixty five days a year.
This year it was my pleasure to promote Corporal Robert King to detective. This
move has benefited the police department in solving many of our cases. Detective
King is also our court prosecutor.
I would just like to name the members of the police department who work so
very hard to keep your town the safest place possible for our taxpayers and their
families.
Lieutenant James Eldridge
Sgt. Joseph Duchesne
Corporal Anthony Sacco
Detective Robert King
Officer Matthew Tyler
Officer Robert Ripley
Officer Shane Emerson

Secretary Linda Bucknell
It is these people who make my job easier and without their support the
department would not function as smooth as it does.
I would also like to thank the Board of Selectmen and Martha Eldridge for the
support they have given to the department throughout the year.
I also would like to thank the town fire departments, the Carroll County Sheriffs
Department, State Police and other local law enforcement agencies for their
assistance throughout the year.

MEDSTAR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, INC.
Activities Report, 2009
To the People of Ossipee,
In 2009, Medstar responded to nearly 2000 calls for service. In addition to the
increase in call volume, we have made multiple advances in the services we
provide, some of which are listed below.
We now have six ambulances online and four more that are getting paint jobs
and new decal work. We have more than twenty employees with twelve full timers.
Over 80% of our full time roster is ALS. Our goal is to have double ALS (2 EMT-I's
or an EMT-I and a Paramedic) on every ambulance that leaves the base. We have
our Medstar Training Center, located in Center Ossipee, with classes running
throughout the year. We have an in house mechanic and an excellent maintenance
program. Some of the new equipment purchases include two LifePak 1 2's and three
medication infusion pumps. We have purchased an older model RV and are in the
process of purchasing a small tag along camper to be utilized for lengthy events
such as firefighter rehab at a working fire and as an accommodation for displaced
families that are waiting for the American Red Cross or other services. As we renew
ambulance service contracts, we intend to work with the local Fire and Rescue
departments to train a minimum of 20 residents in CPR/AED per year. We are
striving for 24/7 Paramedic availability and are close to achieving our goal. We have
a new logo and a new uniform to go along with the new direction of Medstar.
We look forward to our continued growth and improvement in our service to
the Town of Ossipee.
I would like to Thank the Board of Selectmen, West Ossipee Fire & Rescue,
Center Ossipee Fire & Rescue, Ossipee Fire & Rescue, Ossipee Police Department,
The Highway Department and of course the people of Ossipee for their continued
support.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL REPORT
By Raymond S. Burton
2009 was indeed the year of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRAVStimulus Funds in New Hampshire!
As of November 4, 2009, $579,305,870.00 had been allocated in New
Hampshire in nine areas: business/community; education; employment; energy;
health; housing; safety; technology and transportation. Of that $181,463,876.00
went to Council District One towns and cities and the counties of Belknap, Carroll,
Coos, Grafton and Sullivan.
The ARRA money has enabled local, state and county government to work on
projects that have been in process and planning for years. For a complete listing of
these projects go to: www.ed.state.nh.us/education/recovery/index.htm or write to
my office.
Governor Lynch has now submitted the New Hampshire Transportation Plan to
the New Hampshire House and Senate. Highways/bridges, rail, aviation and public
projects are among the proposed recommendations. Contact your local State
Senator and Legislator for details about what projects you believe to be key ones for
your region.
As Councilor, I do not see new revenues being raised in New Hampshire State
Government. With the decline in existing revenues leading to cut backs in services,
only time will determine what the law making branch has in mind for new dollars.
Keep in close touch with your local State Senator and Legislator to make sure costs
are NOT passed on to county and local government.
The Governor and Council are required by law to fill dozens of boards and
commissions with volunteers. If you are interested in serving, please send a letter of
interest and your resume to Governor John Lynch, Attention: Jennifer Kuzma,
Appointment Liaison, State House, 1 07 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03301 . For
the current list of what possible appointments might be coming up go to:
http://www.sos.nh.gov/redbook/index.htm.
There is a constant flow of informational items available at my office: tourist
maps, consumer handbooks and the New Hampshire Constitution. Each Monday I
send, via e-mail, the schedule of my weekly meetings and other information. Send
me your e-mail to be added to the list at rburton@nh.gov or find the schedule on
my State House web page at: http://www.nh.gov/council/districtl/schedules.
Contact my office anytime I can be of help.

distribution of USDA Surplus Food to all the food pantries in Carroll County.
Tri-County Community Action provides necessary services for the most
vulnerable and less fortunate citizens in our communities who would otherwise
have to seek help from the town. We are depending upon funding from your town
and neighboring communities countywide. These local funds are used to make
available local intake and support for federal and state programs including Fuel
Assistance, Electric Assistance, Homeless Prevention, Weatherization, and electric
utility conservation programs.
We greatly appreciate your support and look forward to a continued
cooperation and partnership with your towns' residents, elected officials and staff.

OSSIPEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
In May 2009, the Historical Society's programs began with a "Tour of Historic
Granite," a film highlighting unique spots in the Granite neighborhood of Ossipee.
The film featured John Hartog and Joe Bradley visiting sites never seen by most
audience members! Our June program was especially well received as David Hiltz
told the story of the snowmobile, developed many years ago in West Ossipee at
White's Garage. We were fortunate to have two authentic snowmobiles (owned by
David Hiltz and Mike Hashem) on display, which truly made the program come
alive.
Our July program told another Ossipee story, this one a tragedy. Natalie
Peterson did extensive research on the case of 2-year-old Sarah Walker, who
disappeared from her home on Fogg's Ridge Road on May 1, 1933. The audience
was fascinated by this mystery, which remains unsolved to this day. Our August
program was a more joyous occasion, as we celebrated the 175 th anniversary of
Grant's Store. We began the party with cake and lemonade at the store on Route
16B, and we then moved to the Court House where Carol Puffer told about the
store's history, and a bit about what life was like in Ossipee back in the early 1 800s.
September's program was a fascinating evening featuring local musician and
antique dealer Mike Hashem, who brought many items from his collections to the
Court House for the audience to enjoy. Many in attendance thought Mike's
collection of WWI and II memorabilia was the best part, but others favored the
banjo collection!
We also put on two special programs for Old Home Week: Natalie Peterson
told the story of the Florence Small murder and subsequent trial, the first major case
to be heard in the 1916 Court House. We were especially honored to host an
evening of Native American Songs and Stories, featuring four award-winning singers
and story tellers: David Searching Owl, Janet Quiet Dove, Ken Quiet Hawk, and
Deborah New Moon Rising. Those who attended were both entertained and moved
by this performance.
Our fund-raising efforts to preserve and maintain the historic Court House are
drawing to a close, and we feel that with a five-year history of successfully operating
the building we will be able to continue to do so with the support of the community
of Ossipee. In 201 we plan to carry out repairs to Grant Hall and the Early Settlers
Meeting House in order to fulfill our mission as the guardians of Ossipee's past.

OSSIPEE PLANNING BOARD
2009 Annual Report
The Ossipee Planning Board meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each
month at 7 PM at the Ossipee Town Hall. Additional work sessions are held on the
fourth Tuesday of the month as needed to work on changes to the Ossipee Zoning
Ordinance and other Planning Board business. Bruce Parsons was re-elected
Chairman, Bill G rover Vice Chairman, and other members are Roy Barron, Karen
Foster, Brett Cushing, and Bob Gillette. Carol Gartland is the Selectmen's
Representative, and Roger ter Kuile is an Alternate. David Senecal, Zoning
Enforcement Officer, attends the meetings as needed.
In 2009 the Planning Board approved 4 Subdivisions for a total of 1 lots, 2 Site
Plan Reviews, 9 Mergers of Lots, 7 Boundary Line Adjustments and 1 Special Use
Permit.
4 Excavation Permits were granted for six years and 2 are in the final stages of
completion.
The Ossipee Planning Board recommends that applicants meet with Dave
Senecal, our Zoning Enforcement Officer, before applying to the Planning Board to
help ensure compliance with all zoning issues. The Planning Board encourages a
pre-application discussion with the board that can be scheduled for any Planning
Board meeting following the noticed hearings. Many more applicants are taking
advantage of this opportunity to better prepare their applications. Each Site Plan
Review Application includes a checklist for Minor or Major applications determined
by the applicant based on the size of the project. If the checklist is incomplete, the
application is not acceptable.
We welcome and encourage any interested people to attend our meetings, as
input from the townspeople helps determine the direction of the Planning Board.
We are looking for people to serve as alternates. It is a good way to learn about the
work of the Planning Board in your town and make your voice heard in the
community.
The Planning Board has spent many hours fine tuning changes in the Zoning
Ordinance, including an Article on Wind Power, revisions in the Flood Plain Article,
and a change allowing $2500 to be the cutoff for requiring a building permit.
Proposed drinking water protection in the form of an Aquifer Protection
Ordinance has been the focus of meetings hosted by GMCG for the member towns
of the Ossipee Watershed and Aquifer.

OSSIPEE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
Members of the Board are Jean Simpson, Chairman; David Babson, Vice
Chairman; Bruce Parsons, Jon Brown, and Scott McDonald. Alternates are Lisa
Hinckley and Stanley Brothers.
Public hearings are held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. If
necessary a meeting can be held on the fourth Tuesday. Seven Variances were
granted this year. Many of these were for cases where the proposed activity was not
allowed in that zone, in our Zoning Ordinance. Two Special Exceptions were
granted for previous nonconformance.
If the applicant is denied a building permit because of the need for a Variance
or a Special Exception, Dave Senecal, the Zoning Enforcement Officer, issues a
denial and instructs the applicant to apply to the Ossipee Zoning Board. The Zoning
Enforcement Officer makes sure that all the conditions placed on a decision by the
ZBA are satisfied, before he grants a building permit. The Zoning Board of
Adjustment has worked closely with the Zoning Enforcement Officer to ensure that
possible violations of the conditions of a decision are reviewed.
Prior to the ZBA hearing the case, a fee must be paid for public notification and
certified mailing to all abutters, as well as a hearing fee of $75.00. The secretary
compiles the information with the application and the completed checklist to send
it to the Board members before the hearing. Board members often make a visit to
the site, so they will have a better understanding of the case. An official procedure
is followed for conducting the case. At the conclusion of the case, the ZBA members
do a role call vote. The results are publicized in a public notice as to whether the
application was granted or denied. Any conditions of approval or reasons for denial
are included. The applicant must wait 30 days, so that anyone dissatisfied with the
decision has a chance to start the appeal process.
The Zoning Board revised the Rules of Procedure this year.

Again this year, the Town was busy with permits for new homes, renovation,
remodeling, decks and garages. There were also permits issued for a few larger
commercial structures.
The Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment had a steady flow of
applicants. I attended most of these meetings to offer my input when needed.
Ongoing education was part of my year as well. Meetings each month with the
NH Building Officials Association and the Lakes Region Safety Officials continue to
be beneficial, to both myself as well as the Town. Staying well informed with an
ever-changing industry is very important for all.
Inspection of buildings during all stages of construction is part of my daily
routine. Certificates of Occupancy are issued at the end of a project, and only when
the criteria of this office is satisfied. The Assessing Supervisor accompanies me on
all C.O/s, so that the building data can be recorded correctly for assessing purposes.
Being the Town's Health Inspector takes up some of my time as well.
Inspections, fielding all complaints, phone inquiries, public education, and
meetings are all required for this task.

LAKES REGION PLANNING COMMISSION
The Lakes Region continues to grow and evolve. As our economy and world
change, so does the work we are engaged in. The Lakes Region Planning
Commission (LRPC) is an organization established according to state law to provide
area communities and the region with the capacity to respond to and shape the
pressures of change in a purposeful way. With a service area covering over 1,200
square miles in Belknap, Carroll, Grafton and Merrimack Counties, the LRPC
provides a wide range of planning services to member municipalities. The
Commission offers direct and support services including technical assistance,
geographic information systems, transportation planning, land use, environmental
planning, hazard planning and economic development. Local, state, and federal
resources primarily fund the LRPC. We also maintain a regular dialogue with state
agencies as a resource for the entire Lakes Region. Our overall goal is to provide
support, knowledge, and leadership to the governments, businesses, and citizens of
the Lakes Region.
Some of the services provided on behalf of the town of Ossipee and the region
in the past fiscal year are noted below:
LOCAL:
* Continued to provide assistance to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Committee.
* Retrieved and deployed traffic counting devices throughout the community.
* Awarded a Source Water Protection Grant from the NH Department of
Environmental Services (NHDES) to develop an aquifer protection ordinance and
overlay district in the Ossipee Aquifer watershed. The Green Mountain
Conservation Group and Ossipee Watershed Coalition partnered with LRPC in this
application.
* Provided information to the Conservation Commission Chairman regarding a
development proposal.
* Developed and printed several maps of the Ossipee Aquifer.
* Coordinated road inventory work in the town with an Ossipee road agent.
* Provided copies of the NH Planning and Land Use Regulations to the town at
considerable savings.

MT. WASHINGTON VALLEY ECONOMIC COUNCIL
In just the third full year since opening its doors, the Tech Village in Conway
has become a prominent center for business resources and educational
opportunities for the Valley. The facility accommodates several start-up businesses
as well as an exceptional academic venue utilized by Granite State College and
White Mountains Community College. Attractive building space on adjacent
property is available to interested technical businesses and services. The following
are some of the resources provided by the Economic Council as well as highlights
from 2009:
Progress continues on the development of the Tech Village. In July, the
Economic Council received conditional subdivision approval for five lots. Moreover,
proceeds from the sale of tax credits have gone to the development of infrastructure.
To date, 22 businesses have purchased $1.25 million in tax credits, with $71,000
left to sell.
The Council's Revolving Loan Fund remains the preferred alternative leader in
financial assistance for small businesses in the region. In 2009, the Council loaned
out $326,000. To date, 24 loans have been made to local businesses totaling $1.8
million.
In partnership with Granite State College, the Council has continued to provide
an educational series of workshops, called "Boot Camps," focusing on professional
training for businesses and nonprofit organizations. There were 14 of these
workshops in 2009, totaling 539 attendees.
In concert with the MWV Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Council
continues to work with the MWVYoung Professionals, a group which fosters career
development opportunities, mentorship for community involvement, and support
for civic leadership. The Council is also a co-sponsor of the third year of the
leadership program series, which is a MWV version of Leadership NH.
The Tech Village serves as the home to S.C.O.R.E. -counselors from the Service
Corps of Retired Executives are available to provide free and confidential small
business advice to entrepreneurs.
The Tech Village also houses the MWV School to Career Partnership, which
aims to build and sustain local partnerships that support education programs for the
future workforce.
Lastly, 2009 was another successful year for the on-going Eggs & Issues
Breakfast Forum, which provides timely and vital information for area organizations
on business, educational, and political topics. In April, guest speaker Governor John
Lynch addressed a crowd of nearly 150 attendees on the state of the New
Hampshire economy. In total, nearly 450 individuals attended the 10 sessions held
in 2009.

OSSIPEE CONSERVATION COMMISSION
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2009
Members of the Ossipee Conservation Commission are appointed by the
Selectmen to assure protection and proper utilization of Ossipee natural resources
under RSA 36-A. The Ossipee Conservation Commission meets the second
Wednesday of the month at 7 PM in the Ossipee Town Hall. All are welcome to
attend.
Re-elected in April as Chair was Elizabeth Gillette and Robert Pratt was elected
Vice Chair. Commissioners are Ralph Buchanan, Andy Northrop, Jean Hansen,
Kevin Houle and Warren Walker.
The "Window on the Ossipee Mountains" project moved closer to completion
when construction began in December for the conservation area's planned scenic
overlook off Route 1 6. This followed the NH Department of Transportation approval
of a driveway permit for vehicular access from the highway to the scenic overlook
that was designed by Ralph Buchanan to accommodate parking for up to 12
automobiles and 3 buses. The "Windows" property is located on the west side of
Route 16 south of Boulder Hill Farm; it was purchased for permanent open space
for the town in 2008 following the Commission's successful fundraising campaign.
The Dan Hole Pond Watershed Trust holds a conservation easement on the property.
No funds raised from taxation were used either to purchase the property or to
construct the overlook.
As per the forest management plan for the "Windows" property minimal
clearing was done in February (at the same time harvesting was done on town
forestland north of the "Windows" lot) to open the scenic view and safeguard early
successional forest wildlife habitat. More clearing will be necessary as a result of
above-normal growth from heavy spring rains. The Commission hopes to complete
the overlook in 201 and to create a nature trail on the property in 201 1 .
The Commission worked hard throughout the year to protect Ossipee's natural
resources. To monitor water quality the Commission partnered with the Green
Mountain Conservation Group to sample water at 12 sites on rivers, lakes and
streams from April to October. In May the Selectmen received an overview
presentation of Water Quality test results by the Green Mountain Conservation
Group indicating that Ossipee rivers and streams are in good condition, safe for
increased salinity of Frenchman's Brook due possibly to accumulation of road salt.
For more information click on water quality at: www.gmcg.org
On August 12 we co-hosted with the Freedom Conservation Commission and
the Green Mountain Conservation Group a presentation by Sara Steiner of the NH
Department of Environmental Services (DES) on "Ossipee Lake Monitoring Results."
The lake quality with respect to overall transparency and conductivity remains
above the average of most NH lakes; however, Steiner noted a significant decrease
in transparency of deep water in Broad Bay and Leavitt Bay that warrant continued
monitoring. You may view Steiner's presentation at:
http://www.gmcg.org/administration/pdf/OssipeeLakes_GMCG_20090812

For the fourth consecutive year the Commission supported the Lake Host
Program (under the NH Lakes Association) to check boats entering and leaving
Ossipee Lake for milfoil and other invasive species. Commissioners Jean Hansen
and Warren Walker oversaw Lake Host Point Person, Nick Paquette and one
assistant at Pequawket Trail landing from June to September. Despite these efforts
DES confirmed in September two significant infestations of invasive milfoil and
recommended chemical treatment in 2010. The Commission organized a meeting
in December with representatives from Conservation Commissions of Freedom and
Effingham and others to review the problem of invasive milfoil in the lake and to
share information about each town's mitigation plans and activities.
Throughout the year Ossipee was represented by Jean Hansen and Selectman
Harry Merrow on a DRED committee to develop a management plan for the
Ossipee Lake Natural Area. This beautiful, sandy stretch on the southern shoreline
has for some years been conflicted by visitor overuse that threatens a community of
rare plants. Committee recommendations led to action, including relocation of the
section open to visitors, posted prohibitions against unauthorized activities and
stepped-up patrols to enforce implementation.
The Commission organized two community events for education and clean-up.
On April 1 5 we hosted an evening talk at the library on Dark Sky Conservation (vs.
Light Pollution) by Robert Gillette. On April 22, the Commission co-sponsored with
the Green Mountain Conservation Group a clean-up of the beautiful Archer's Pond
area. Thanks to a hardworking corps of volunteers (with some from Camp Calumet's
Earth Week Camp) who gathered an estimated two tons of trash, and to the Ossipee
Highway Department that hauled the collection to the transfer station, Archer's Pond
and the surrounding area are considerably cleaner today!
In August members of the Commission accompanied George Frame of the
Society for the Protection of NH Forests in walking over the 108-acre forestland off
Depot Road in Tamworth which the Commission has managed since 1 984 following
completion of the Sumner Brook Conservation project. We commissioned a
surveyor to survey and re-set missing monuments on the westerly boundary.
The Commission supported town efforts to obtain grants to stabilize soil near
the Duncan Lake beach and to get a permit from DES to replace rotted sections of
the pedestrian walkway at Constitution Park. The Commission expressed concern
to the developers of the new shopping area at Routes 16 and 28 to take measures
to safeguard wetlands during both the construction phase and the management of
snow removal.
The Commission reviewed 53 communications (up from 40 in 2008) to and
from the Department of Environmental Services, such as individual applications to
work in the shoreland protection zone or wetlands or other areas that would require
a DES permit or monitoring. The Commission also noted 22 "Intents to Cut" (down
from 33 in 2008) forwarded by the Selectmen. Commissioners made 2 site visits to
review possible taking of fee title or easement of properties in Ossipee for
conservation purposes. A walk was also made of the "Windows" property with a
director of the Dan Hole Pond Watershed Trust to monitor condition of the property.
60
Two other efforts were notable in 2009 to benefit Ossipee natural resources.
An Aquifer Steering Committee has met throughout the year, under the auspices of
a grant secured by the Lakes Region Planning Commission and Green Mountain
Conservation Group, to assess what common water protection ordinances might be
adopted in towns of the Ossipee Watershed to safeguard water quality and also to
collect data on possible points of pollution. Roger ter Kuile is a member of the
Committee and in May he reported on progress at the regular Conservation
Commission meeting. A seminar held in November on Winter Road Maintenance
was attended by Selectwoman Kathleen Maloney who reported back to the
Selectmen on latest techniques to provide safe road travel with least harm to the
environment.
Volunteers are needed to help protect the land and water resources of Ossipee
that we all love and too often take for granted. From serving as a Commissioner to
sampling rivers and streams or pitching in on a project, townspeople will welcome
whatever time you can give.

Elizabeth Gillette, Chair

OLD HOME WEEK COMMITTEE 2009
The Ossipee Old Home Week Committee continues in its endeavors to bring
this community together by celebrating the 4th of July in a week long schedule of
events and numerous activities to showcase what our community does best
working together. Without the support of our citizens and businesses these events
would not be possible.
The economy this year has been tough, however, the continued support has
been outstanding and the committee wishes to thank all those that take the time to
volunteer, donate, work and support this committee's endeavors. Please remember
all events are occurring from donations, NO TAX DOLLARS are asked for. Without
the support of YOU, events would not happen.
Last year the wind affected the firework display adversely. Due to the shortness
of the display the vendor has assured the committee of an even bigger showcase this
year providing calmer winds prevail. Please schedule this event on your calendar.
You will not want to miss this year's 4th of July Fireworks.
The Old Home Week Committee is looking for new members. Meetings are
only one hour in length and more hands make the job easier.
This year events such as, Easter Egg Hunt, Mother's Day Flowers, Father's Day
Gifts, Saint Patrick's Day Pot of Gold Penny Sale, Concerts and Fireworks are being
planned for this year. Please watch the sign at the Town Hall for these events.
The Old Home Week Committee would like to thank all the generous heartfelt
time and commodities given by all of you who assist in making this committee able
to plan and carryout events that showcase the jewel that this Town is!

OSSIPEE RECREATION DEPARTMENT
2009 ANNUAL REPORT
ro the Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Ossipee:
["he Department's goal is to offer a wide range of activities for all ages
designed to meet the needs of the community, and to encourage healthy use of
your leisure time. To the end in 2009 the Department offered 44 activities for
children & youth, 30 for teens, 22 for adults and 35 special events. We have an
activity for all age groups. We are always searching for new programs to add. If
you have an idea please contact us so we can discuss it and possibly include it in
our schedule. We continue to search for alternative funding sources for programs
and projects. The summer teen program was partially funded through a Grant from
the Carroll County Program Prevention Development Funds and we plan to apply
for a State grant in 2010. We also have applied for other grants to complete
projects at our recreation facilities. These grants are monitored and administered
by the Department.
The most exciting development of the year was the construction and opening
of the Ossipee Skatepark. It is located next to the Town Hall on the site of the Ice
Skating Rink. This is the culmination of a lot of work by a lot of people over a
number of years. The Park was opened for a month in the late fall and a Grand
Opening is planned for May 1, 2010. This makes this facility a multi-seasonal
facility with ice skating in the winter and skateboarding the rest of the year. All
ages can enjoy this facility!
In 2009 maintaining the grass and general clean up of Constitution Park,
YMCA Field, Mill Pond Park, Main Street Park grass, and Town Hall grass became
the responsibility of the Department. In addition to this, we also oversee
improvements and renovations to the recreation facilities in town. In 2009, the
infield of the large baseball field at the YMCA Field was renovated, a John Deere
Zero-turn mower was purchased, the Ice Rink/Skatepark surface was paved, the
Skatepark apparatus was installed, and new nets were installed on the tennis
courts.
Communication of the Department's activities is made through several
sources. These include: Weekly updates in the local papers, Occasional
announcements on Cable Channel 3, Daily announcements at the schools,
Publication of a Quarterly Program Brochure, and updates on our FaceBook page
and on our website all keep you up-to-date on what is happening with the
Department. Our phone number is 539-1307 and our e-mail addresses are: (Peter)
ossrec@myfairpoint.net and (Jason) jason@ossipeerec.org . The website address is:
www.ossipeerec.org . The Office is located next to the Town Hall.
Even though we have 2 full-time staff, we still rely almost 100% on volunteers
to make things happen. A special THANK YOU! is extended to all of you who
63
assist us with implementing all of the programs and activities. We also deeply
appreciate the support of many businesses, civic groups, churches, non-profit
groups, schools, and the other Town Departments. Because of your assistance
many residents (young & old) have been able to participate in our activities.
We encourage you to be involved with your town and with the Recreation
Department. For a small town we have a lot to offer. On behalf of Jason and I it is
a joy to serve as your Recreation Department Directors. For a comprehensive
report please go to our website at www.ossipeerec.org and click on the

OSSIPEE CONCERNED CITIZENS, INC.
Ossipee Concerned Citizens was incorporated in 1975. Conceived from the
initial and visionary Board of Directors composed of more than a dozen community
residents, OCC created opportunities by providing access to a variety of human
services. With its non-profit status, OCC became eligible to contract with state and
federal agencies for funding.
Its first program was food to seniors, which blossomed into hundreds of
thousands of congregate and home-delivered meals from the Center Ossipee site.
In 1980, the WIC Program (now 700 clients) was born to this location. Thirdly, the
Ossipee Crossings Child Care Center began operations in 1994.
OCC's second meals preparation site began in Moultonborough (Lions Club)
six years ago, and includes the Town of Sandwich. Last year, Wakefield was added
to the original list of towns (Ossipee, Tamworth, Effingham, and Freedom) provided
with meals-on-wheels.
In addition to the above, OCC is a member of the New Hampshire Association
of Senior Centers and is an agent for the Commodity Supplemental Foods Program
(CSFP).
The following is a list of activities sponsored solely by OCC or in collaboration
with other organizations and individuals: monthly blood-pressure clinics (VNA
Hospice of Southern Carroll County and Vicinity); monthly foot care clinics (with
Lakes Region General Hospital); monthly hearing testing (with Dr. Ed Burns); Annual
Flu Shot Clinic (with VNA); weekly T.O.P.S. Program (volunteer leaders); Senior
Game Day (with Ossipee Recreation Department); Monday Night Whist (volunteer
leaders); Monday Afternoon Bingo (staff); senior trips to ME and NH locations for
shopping and entertainment (including the Portland Flower Show with Ossipee
Recreation Dept.).
OCC organizes fundraisers necessary to supplement the annual budget.
Including are the following: Annual Spring Fling; Fourth of July Celebration; Annual
Harvest Fair; public turkey suppers; penny sales; yard sales; limited catering; and the
OCC Uptown Boutique.
OCC has an annual budget of over $850,000.00. Contracts with several
funding sources allow the agency to provide the services identified above. Those
include the following: USDA; Department of Health and Human Services; Division
of Public Health Services and Child Care Development Fund; Lakes Region United
Way; and the Ossipee Children's Fund. Funding from town support, donations, and
fundraising complete the budget receivables.
The OCC Santa Project (Ossipee, Effingham, and Freedom) was again
65
successful due to the wide-ranging support of organizations and individuals who
partnership for a common goal. Andrew Catino and Ellen Garofalo, new owners of
"The Chamberlain Block", graciously took over from the Hickey's in providing
workshop space for the Santa Project, which assisted one hundred and eighty-two
(182) families with four-hundred eighty-six (486) boys and girls.
Space does not allow us to list the hundreds of organizations and individuals
who have voluntarily served us so well throughout the years. With their continued
support, with that of the Board of Selectmen, department heads, and town office
staff, and with the consistent hard work of all agency staff, OCC will positively
impact, directly and indirectly, every citizen within the Town of Ossipee.

WELFARE
Annual Report for 2009
This year we handled a total of 1 36 cases at a cost of $1 2,338.91 .
The Town has a strict set of Guidelines prepared in conjunction with the New
Hampshire Local Government Center. These guidelines have been adopted by the
Town. There is no set amount for assistance but one must fall within the guidelines
to be eligible. These guidelines are followed in all cases as they are legal and
binding.
Due to the current economic climate, we are seeing a different cliental. In
2009 we saw an increase in medication assistance and need for placement in
shelters.
These are difficult times and decisions on what to pay are not always easy. It
has become necessary to pare down the extras and concentrate on family needs.

OSSIPEE WATER AND SEWER COMMISSION
The Ossipee Water and Sewer Commission has continued to make upgrades to
both the water and sewer system in Center Ossipee.
"Camp David"
Three leach beds were reconstructed this year along with brush cutting and
additional clearing. The facility received approximately 500,000 gallons of septage
^nd processed more than 32 million gallons of wastewater. Monitoring wells
showed all groundwater to be within State and EPA limits. Next year the
replacement of several more leach beds is planned.
Water System
The Center Ossipee Water system is in very good condition. All our water tests
have come back with excellent test ratings speaking highly of the quality of work
and maintenance accomplished by our highly trained staff.
The Dore Street and Rt. 1 6B projects are partially designed, and are waiting for
funding opportunities as we explore various grants and financing options. The lines
are adequate for the time being, and very little debris is produced during the
flushing process. A Capital Improvement Plan has been developed.
The hydrants were painted in the spring and several risers were added to
position them at the proper height. A new hydrant was added adjacent to the Irving
facility. Several service shutoffs were replaced and four breaks were repaired.
Other improvements to the system included painting the building at Pine River,
painting the office and storage building, and cleaning up around all facilities. The
controls and alarms at Pine River were upgraded. An inspection and cleaning of the
tank on Valley Road was conducted with everything found to be in good order and
only 1/8" of sediment on the floor of the tank after 5 years.
Sewer System
Work started on the evaluation of the sewer system to determine why flows
increase dramatically during storm events. Several manholes have been identified
as possible problems. Residents are also reminded that it is illegal to connect
gutters, down spouts and sump pumps to the sanitary sewer system. These devices
should connect to storm drains or daylight away from the structure.
At this point we wish to extend our sincere appreciation to the various Town
Departments for their continued help and support throughout the year. The Board
of Selectmen, and Mrs. Martha Eldridge (Town Administrator) for their help in
keeping things moving smoothly, Mrs. Kellie Skehan and her Tax Office Staff Ms.
Trish Hodge and Ms. Tracy Cragin for all their hard work collecting revenue for the
Department and last but not least, the Town Office Staff, Ms. Natalie Hall
69
(Treasurer), JoAnn Wilkish (payroll clerk) and Ms. Gail Gliesman (payroll clerk).
We especially wish to thank the Public Works/Highway Department without
whose help the Ossipee Water and Sewer Department would be hard pressed, and
for their old dump truck which has enabled us to accomplish additional work
without disrupting their operations.
Respectfully submitted,
Randy Lyman, Chairman
Elliott Harris, Vice Chairman

OSSIPEE TRANSFER & RECYCLING FACILITY
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2009
2009 was a good year and also a busy year for the employees at the Transfer
Facility. Some major changes that occurred include the installation of 2 new
compactors to replace the incinerator, which was mandated to be removed by the
Department of Environmental Services, an additional baler was installed and the
Town adopting a "Mandatory Recycling" policy.
The recycling effort has had a positive impact on our town and the
environment. Our tonnage of Municipal Solid Waste and Demolition Waste has
dropped by 270 tons. This has also resulted in 52 fewer trips required for hauling of
the waste. The total income generated in 2009 from the sale of the recyclables and
fees is $102,000.00.
The Town was saddened by the passing of Bill Porell. We all wish his family the
best. The Town also welcomes Rick Kent to the Transfer and Recycling Facility.
The employees at the Transfer & Recycling Facility would like to send a big
"Thank You" to all of the residents for a job well done!
Respectfully submitted,
Brad Harriman, Public Works Director

OSSIPEE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2009
Once again the Highway Department was kept very busy during the winter of
2009. Many nights and weekends were spent keeping the Town roads safe and
clear.
When spring and summer finally arrived, the crew was able to get out and bring
our gravel roads back into shape by grading and rolling. Many hours were also
spent on cleaning the ditches and culverts. All of this work is paying off as we are
observing less damage to our shoulders on the roads and the roads are lasting for
longer periods of time between grading. The department also continued roadside
mowing and crack sealing as part of their regular routine.
As in the past 2 years, the department spent many hours removing and
installing new culverts on various Town roads.
Major projects completed this past year include rebuilding the shoulders,
shimming and overlaying Elm Street, Walker Hill Road and Blake Hill Road.
Glidden Hill on Sawyer Road was widened and new ditch lines were installed.
Drainage improvements were started on Ridge Road along with the addition of
gravel to Pequ aw ket Trail, Cassie Cove Road, Ridge Road and Leavitt Road.
The Highway Department saw Joe Janis leave us after 4 years of service. We
all wish Joe the best for the future. The Town also welcomes Shawn Berry to the
Highway Department.

FOREST FIRE WARDEN'S
ANNUAL REPORT - 2009
2009 was a fairly wet year, resulting in low fire activity. There were
approximately 570 permits issued throughout the Town for the year. Headsets were
purchased for the three forestry trucks to provide better communications.
Law Brochures are available at the Town Hall. Further information on the laws
can be found through the Department of Resources and Economic Development,
Division of Forest and Lands at www.nhdfl.org .
Please remember that if the ground is not completely covered with snow at
least within a 1 00 foot radius around any brush pile to be burned, then a fire permit
is needed. When in question call and ask. If you wish to burn without snow cover,
please call the Fire Department in your Precinct. The Department numbers are
listed below. Please only leave a message at one Department. These calls are
returned by call fire/rescue personnel that are answering emergency calls on a daily
basis, so it is recommended to call at least one day before the day that you wish to
burn so there is adequate time for your call to be returned and for someone to issue
the permit.

This year saw the formation of the West Ossipee Explorers program, an
outstanding group of seven young men and women who are already proving to be
a very valuable asset to our department and the mutual aid service. These teenagers
are responding to assist at emergency calls and participating in trainings, giving
them hands-on experience to prepare them to transition into work with the fire
service as adults.
In 2009, we organized several training opportunities and included other
departments in these courses including traffic safety and chainsaw safety. We look
forward to sponsoring an EMT-B class and CDL class in 201 as well as several other
courses being offered through our partnership with NH Local Government Center.
The completion of our Jewell Hill Fire Station construction project has been quite a
learning experience for all involved. It started as a seemingly simple quest to
construct a garage facility to resolve our lack of sufficient space to work and house
equipment. And it was finally made possible through an act of the NH Legislature
with the passage of SB 75. Thank you to all who helped us complete this project. A
special thank you goes to NH Reps. Mark McConkey, John Roberts and Susan Wiley,
U.S. Senator Jeb Bradley, and Atty. Susan Slack for guiding this legislation through
to passage and to Brian Streeter for his donation of the well installation.
78
The 23 members of this department are a dedicated, professional, and
confident group who excel at serving above and beyond the call of duty to protect
and serve the people of West Ossipee and surrounding communities. Thank you to
their families who continue to support their commitment to the fire service.
REMINDER: SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
SAVE LIVES. If you need assistance acquiring or installing these devices in your
home, or have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to call our station
at 539-6906.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Nine years ago, it seemed like our biggest challenge was to plan how we would
cope with the technological chaos caused by our entry into the new century. As we
enter the last year of the decade, the Y2K maladies seem like a "walk in the park"
compared to the challenges that we face in today's world. While Thomas L.
Friedman's "flat world" definitely has some pretty significant bumps for us to
traverse, I have great confidence in the American spirit and our ability to overcome
all obstacles.
A prime example of what can be accomplished when people work together
was the approval of the Kingswood Addition/Renovation Project. When the
Governor failed to include vocational building aid in his budget, the overwhelming
support that the project received from voters was the critical factor in getting the
75% state funding restored. The commitment made by the citizens of the Governor
Wentworth Regional School District gave the School Board, our legislative team and
me the ammunition that we needed to persuade the General Court to include this
most important aid to the biennium budget. Both the School Board and our local
legislators were tenacious in their efforts to see that the children who attend our
schools were not shortchanged by state government. I am particularly grateful to the
many formal and informal groups who diligently worked for the passage of the
bond.
In presenting the project last year, we expressed concern that due to the
financial condition of the state, the window may be closing on state building aid.
We believed that a moratorium on future projects could be implemented and
therefore, it was critical that our project be approved before that happened.
Otherwise, our residents could face a major building or renovation project without
the benefit of any state aid. At the time of writing this report, the State Legislature is
talking about a moratorium on new projects including those which will be
considered by voters in March of 2010. For all of the children that will attend school
in the Governor Wentworth Regional School District for the next 30 years, I am
grateful to everyone who made the completing of this project possible on a timely
basis. Ground breaking for Phase I took place on December 2, 2009. We expect
Phase II to begin in April of 2010 with substantial completion of the entire project
early in the 201 1-2012 school year.
After 1 8 years of a dedicated career in the district, Dr. Kathleen McCabe retired
in June 2009. We are fortunate to have our Director of Special Education, Kathleen
Cuddy-Egbert, assume the position of Assistant Superintendent of Schools. While
she continues to oversee special education as part of her job assignment, she is ably
assisted by long-time Special Education Coordinator Susan Merrell. Heather
Cummings, our former Director of Instructional Improvement, has capably
absorbed her old position in her new role as Director of Curriculum. The
commitment, skill level and work ethic of these people, coupled with a hard-
working office staff, have made the transition in the SAU 49 office a smooth one.
Again, thank you to all of our citizens for their continued support of our public
schools.
Respectfully submitted,
John B. Robertson

CAREGIVERS OF THE WOLFEBORO AREA
ANNUAL REPORT 2009
In November of this year we changed our name to Caregivers of Southern
Carroll County and Vicinity, Inc. This was done to pave the way for qualifying as a
501(c) 3 agency.
We are an all-volunteer organization with no salaries; no benefits, no office
and no overhead but still incur expenses. Our greatest expense is the reimbursement
of drivers. We provide transportation to local communities and long distance
destinations such as Dover, Portsmouth, Boston, Maine Medical, and Lebanon. Our
reimbursement is .40 per mile.
Our services are available to everyone in Alton, Ossipee, Tuftonboro and
Wolfeboro at no charge. We are always happy to accept donations.
January through November of 2009 our drivers have traveled 41,717 miles.
With the current economy more of our volunteers are requesting reimbursement.
Fortunately, for our agency, there are volunteers who do not request reimbursement
because "It is part of the volunteerism".
Transportation, while not the only service offered, is the most requested. Other
services include friendly visiting and respite. Through November 2009 our agency
has rendered 1,520 individual services. This means that more than 6.6 services are
provided every working day. Our 80 volunteers are busy.
In 2009 we received grants through the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation
from The Wolfeboro Fund and the Bald Peak Community Fund. We are grateful to
these eminent organizations for their confidence in our program. We are also
fortunate that All Saints Church, First Congregational Church and St. Katharine
Drexel Church have provided! donations for years. Recently, donations have come
from the towns of Alton, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro. It is through the generosity of
these organizations and towns that we are able to continue our services and perhaps
expand in the future.
In the 23 years since our founding, we feel we have filled a great need in our
communities. It is because of the caring and involvement of the people in these
towns that we have been able to provide the needed services. We are fortunate that
we live in towns where people care about each other.
